BREAKING NEWS: South Africa now has 1170 coronavirus infections

He was speaking on behalf of Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, who was not present at the press conference due to other engagements.

Earlier Western Cape Premier Alan Winde confirmed that the two people who died from Covid-19 related illnesses were a 28-year-old and a 48-year-old woman. These two deaths took place as the country has been placed on a national lockdown with South Africans expected to stay at home. Only essential businesses remain open.

Ramaphosa said the SANDF should ensure that once the 21 days were over, South Africa will be able to bounce back. He said this was a mercy and life-giving mission.

He know his job lobafo?

MbuyiseniNdlozi We're in lockdown and people are reported to be jogging, others caught driving drunk, etc. Based on these behaviours and the total disregard for the President's instructions and our safety as a nation, this number (1170) is still extremely conservative.

MbuyiseniNdlozi Definitely getting out of hand now😢

One thing for sure this Minister is on top of his game, honesty with numbers, while his peers in the AU are fudging them.

Can we have the COVID19 stats broken down in terms of enthic groups, gender, blood types and ages. This will make extrapolation of infections more accurate.
